Option 2: 3 months
Option 3: 9 months
Option 4: 12 months
Correct Answer: 6 months
Solution : The correct answer is 6 months.
A presidential election must be held as soon as possible and, in any case, no later than six months from the date the vacancy occurred, according to Article 62 of the Indian Constitution. The article also states that this election must be finished before the term expiration. Since the position cannot be left vacant, the Vice President of India assumes the President's responsibilities until a new president takes office.
